Travel Bug

Everything you need to know for all the places you'll go. All about your travels: your hints, tips, stories and experiences!

This week I am doing a feature on Kygyzstan! Next week I'll have tips on time change adjustment, and you're definitely welcome to send in some of your own.

Destination: Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan (officially the Kyrgyz Republic) is a small, mountainous, landlocked country in Central Asia. It has a population of roughly 5,356,869. It has two official languages; Russian and Kyrgyz. Here's a quick photo tour through Kyrgyzstan!

There are too many melons to choose from at this market!

Yurts. The smaller yurt was the sleeping yurt, while the larger yurt served as the dining area.

I hope this gives you a better idea of what life is like in Kyrgyzstan! I found these photos here.

The Columnist

HI! I'm Julia (or Bee, as my friends like to call me) and I'm your columnist for Travel Bug and ePals. I'm 15 and I live in a little town in central Pennsylvania that I'm sure nobody's heard of. I love sports (cheering and running) and music (clarinet, piano, singing), hanging with my friends, and of course checking out Purple PJs! I've got a twin sister who I look nothing like and a dog who has the same hair color as me (red)! Oh, I love to travel and meet new people of course!! I've lived in Switzerland and several places in the US, and I've visited England, Wales, France, Germany, and the Netherlands! I've had many great opportunities to meet new and exciting people on all my travels. I look forward to traveling many more places on other continents and meeting many more people, too!
